Chapter 290 Is the World Going to Change?
The next day, after a night's rest, Leni and others finally regained their energy and returned to their original daily life of training and scientific research.
"Morning, everyone."
Leni held a cup of coffee in her hand and opened the door to the investigation team's lounge. She had just finished her daily training and returned here as usual to take it with her for a while.
"morning!"
The lounge is still the same as before, with only Fitz, Simmons, Skye and Meister. These four people have now regarded this place as their own laboratory. Apart from the training ground, they can basically only be found here.
"You came just in time, Leni. Based on my last action, I lowered the gunpowder charge of the Frigga bullet. Although it reduced the effective range of the warhead, it is enough to be used on a pistol. This can effectively reduce the damage caused by the bullet hitting the head..."
Fitz said as he handed two bullets to Leni's hand.
Leni took the two bullets in her hands and weighed them for a moment. Through her keen perception system, she could indeed feel that the weight of the two bullets was slightly lighter than the previous version.
"Well, although I think this is a bit redundant, just change it if you want. As long as you don't change the rifle version, there is nothing wrong with the pistol version."
Leni returned the two bullets to Fitz, and then added something after thinking.
"Get me a few rounds of .45 caliber when you have time. I plan to give them away."
Since all Frigga bullets are customized one by one by Fitz using manual equipment, the output is not high.
Before SHIELD fully approves the adoption process of Frigga bullets, Frigga bullets can really only be produced through this inefficient method.
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Fitz was stunned, and then thought of Captain Price, whom he had met before. He heard that Leni planned to recruit all of Task Force 141 into SHIELD, and it would be reasonable to give them some gifts.
But according to Leni's habit, Leni might also give him a pair of sunglasses.
This is indeed the case. The last time they were separated at the Italian air force base, Leni and Captain Price did talk about the future.
Although Price was suspicious of the CIA at the time, he did not point the finger at his immediate boss.
Therefore, I declined Leni's invitation at that time. At this time, I never thought that I would be in a situation where I had nowhere to go.
…
"Captain Price? General Ross invites you!"
At Edwards Air Force Base, Price and others, who had just been released from the Italian S.H.I.E.L.D. branch, were blocked by General Ross's service communications troops as soon as they got off the plane.
Everyone in Task Force 141 looked at each other, some not understanding what happened.
It stands to reason that since they have completed their mission, they only need to go to the Air Force Department to complete their debriefing before returning to the training base at the Security Council. Why does General Ross have to go out of his way to see him?
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
Price still had his duffel bag in hand. He couldn't just go to see the Air Force Lieutenant General, right?
"No need to bother, General Ross is waiting over there, all of you together!"
The orderly was very polite, but his attitude of not being able to refuse was clear in his words.
Price's mind moved, and he couldn't help but think of the conversation not long ago, and then nodded to indicate to the other party to lead the way.
"Captain, what's going on? Is it necessary for General Ross to see us specially? Or is it because our contact with SHIELD made him have a grudge?"
Taking advantage of the gap when the orderly turned around to lead the way, Sanderson came up behind him and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but I'm afraid it's something big."
Price hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not express the suspicion in his heart. Although he did not know what exactly happened, he was afraid that things were about to change...
Following the orderly, they walked quickly to a hangar. Under the guidance of the orderly, the members of Task Force 141 pushed open the side door of the hangar and stepped inside. They were immediately shocked by the situation inside.
There was only one fighter plane parked in the huge fighter hangar, and it was a fighter plane that Price and others were very familiar with.
"What the hell?"
Soap's eyes widened, and for a moment his mind couldn't turn around, so he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Price, on the other hand, became more and more certain of his suspicions.
"Just in time, they're here!"
The person who came was the 141st Task Force. General Ross, who was talking to a man in a suit with an extremely dangerous hairline, immediately introduced the topic to everyone.
Price took the lead to walk to the two of them, then put down the luggage bag in his hand and took the lead in giving a military salute to General Ross and the two.
"Captain Price of Task Force 141, reporting to you, General!"
Seeing this, General Ross casually returned a military salute, then waved his hand to signal Price and others not to be restrained.
"Without the formalities, let me introduce you. This is Agent Phil Coulson, a level 8 agent of SHIELD! This is the captain of Task Force 141, John Price."
General Ross introduced the two to each other, and the good old Coulson immediately extended his right hand.
"Hello, I've heard that you are all good. Thank you for your hard work in the previous actions."
Price understood, and politely stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other person, and then looked over Colson's shoulder at the female pilot behind him.
He had met this beautiful pilot. Although he had not spoken to her, he and his team members had taken photos with this pilot when they were at the Italian Air Force Base.
Nodding as a greeting, Price turned his attention back to General Ross, wanting to ask why he had summoned them in such a hurry.
"Well! That's right. Due to some reasons, there has been some controversy over the ownership of your troops. After my efforts to persuade you to stay, I have decided to temporarily retain your troop establishment and then temporarily assign it to Edwards Air Force Base."
General Ross coughed lightly. The so-called reasons were actually that Sheffield was arrested and was about to face multiple charges. The 141 force formed by Sheffield had now become ownerless.
"A question of belonging?"
Price's brows jumped, and sure enough, things were really going to change!
"Yes, Agent Coulson will explain the specific situation to you later... In short, after friendly negotiations between us and SHIELD, we have decided to assign you to SHIELD on a loan basis in the future. The lease period is three years. At the end of the lease period, if there are no further changes, you can return here!"
General Ross was too lazy to explain, so he simply explained the results and left the rest of the matters to Coulson, leaving behind a sentence of "I have something else to do, you guys can talk!"
Then he left, leaving all the members of Task Force 141 confused.
"Ah this..."
Colson glanced at the confused crowd, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he extended his hand to invite:
"This is pilot Melinda. You should have met her. This matter is complicated to talk about. Let's not just stand here and talk about it on the plane..."
